Most series have provisionals.

The provisionals used at the oval nationals only allow them to compete in that event for cash. Not for Oval national points toward the finale. My guess is Krueser is high enough in CRA points to use one

Yeah correct Chuck!!....as I think I understood Scott to say,use a provisional,no Oval Pts awarded,but Nat'l/Cra pts would be available!!...........

I had a format question about Perris. Does anyone know if last night's results have anything to do with tonight's program? Are any of last night's top finishers locked into the A-main tonight or do they totally start over again? How about Saturday night's finale? Do last night's or tonight's results in the feature lock drivers into tomorrow night's race. Thanks in advance.

Last night's results have nothing to do with tonight's program. It is a complete new show. The combined points from last night and tonight determine where a driver will start on Saturday.

You guys are correct on the provisional points. If you use a provisional, you get your USAC National and CRA season long points, but you do not receive Oval Nationals points. Reason being: A driver could finish 20th (20th as an example) in the B main or the C, then take a provisional and earn points in the A main while the drivers who beat him in those races would not be able to earn main event points. That would not be fair.

Thanks Scott for another Excellent Job on the PA!!...at da Pas!!....Noticed time trials last nite on the F.M. dial (????)in car ,but can you comment on ,where,how,when that all gets started???......thanks

87.9 FM. That is on from the time the front gates open.

Does anyone know waht happened to Dave? Did he qualify poorly and start way back or was it something else?
Thanks for any information!

Susan, last night Dave qualified only 25th quick. He did finish 3rd in his heat. But, his qualifying time is what hurt him. Tonight after 36 cars he is I think 4th quick. So that is much better. They have 51 cars total though so there are still 15 cars left to qualify. We shall see.

You did realize you can watch the race tonight right?? http://www.usacracing.com/usac_live/usac_live_main
I guess Dave wound up 5th quick for tonight. That will be much better starting spot provided he makes it in through his heat. He should start in row 3 unless they do an invert of the top 6. Then he would start on front row!!!
